Well it's always something. Finally did my oil change and I noticed that the plastic section of the stick with the measurements on it snapped off. Unfortunately the broken plastic tip did NOT come out with the old oil when I drained it. I now worry that it may cause problems.

I also want to buy a third party all metal dipstick but I have no clue what size threading our bike has but it seems that the Chinese advertise two sized called either JOC tooth or CG tooth. Im guessing from the photos that we have JOC tooth threading whatever that means.

I did find something like this at first search on ebay:

Some of these even have a temp guage added to them. What do you guys think?
